Actress Mila Kunis was so glad to be done with her filthy outfit from post-apocalypse drama "The Book of Eli" she burned it. The "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" star hated having to don the same dirty clothes every day on the set of the upcoming Denzel Washington film and staged a ceremonial send-off when the film wrapped.
She tells WENN, "I kept none of my ensemble from the film. It was so dirty and filthy. In fact I burned it in effigy when we wrapped production." And Kunis urges film fans not to be swept up by her tough-girl character in the new film - she'd be no good surviving after a nuclear blast.
She adds, "In a post-apocalyptic world I would need toilet paper, so as not use leaves for the rest of my life. I wouldn't know what to eat. I would eat that snake with the yellow tail

"But I could kick some serious a**, especially in five-inch heels. It's amazing what I could do. I could throw a really strong right hook. I learned that from my Max Payne (movie) training. And I could shoot really well. And I could run really fast, so if anything happened, I'd run."

Some people might be thrilled of having David Beckham and Victoria Adams as their neighbors, but that doesn't happen with Mark Wahlberg. In fact, he is a little upset over the Beckhams' move to his Beverly Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles, claiming that the Beckhams have "ruined the neighborhood."
"Man, the Beckhams. It used to be so quiet on my road. Then David moves in with his family. Suddenly we've got paparazzi hanging out day and night," the "Max Payne" actor shared, as quoted by the Daily Mail. "Now they'll follow any car that drives down the road."
Wahlberg went on by stating that Beckham, who joined football club Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007, is wasting his time if he wants to popularize the sport in the U.S. The 38-year-old actor said, "I'm just not sure why he came to America in the first place. Man, we don't want your soccer.

Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he and his wife are expecting a baby girl. The Max Payne star, who already has three children with model Rhea Durham, told People that four kids was probably enough. "I'm having another girl, so I'll have two girls and two boys. I'm the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others," he said. "No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn't get the kind of attention I think that we all needed. "My parents had (more)

A report that Beyoncé was in talks to play Wonder Woman has proved to be false. The Obsessed actress was alleged to have said during a press conference that she had multiple movie projects currently in the works, including Wonder Woman.

Beyonce faces new heartbreak over Wonder Woman dream

Congratulations to those websites that didn't mindlessly repeat the blatant nonsense that Beyonce was to be Wonder Woman.
You didn't need the superheroine's golden lasso of truth to realise the story was fiction.
Beyonce had previously expressed an interest in the role and a contributor to the site Comic Book Movie yesterday posted a bogus report claiming there had been a press conference at which the singer listed Wonder Woman among her upcoming movie projects. It said the film would start production in mid-2010 for release in late 2011.
The hoax article said the writers were Stuart Beattie and David Elliott, who penned G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and the director would be John Moore, who helmed Max Payne.
The writer has since admitted he 'made the story up to impress his girlfriend' and has been banned from the site. Thankfully, most decent websites had the brains to realise the

Beyonce is in Talks for Wonder Woman Movie

Jessica Biel and Jennifer Love Hewitt have previously expressed interest in starring in a "Wonder Woman" film, but according to ComicBookMovie, the role may have already gone to Beyonce. During a press junket, the singer/actress revealed that she will be meeting with "GI Joe" writers Stuart Beatti and David Elliot, and director John Moore (Max Payne) in a couple of months and that things will get going by mid-2010 for a late 2011 release. This isn't the first time we're hearing of Beyonce being considered for "Wonder Woman." Back in November of last year, she said: "I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?" Somewhere Kanye West is celebrating Warner Bros' choice to go with Beyonce. Click

Okay, so here's a bolt from the blue -- or a a lassooooooo from the hip. It seems that Beyonce is now in talks to become the new Wonder Women in a new movie, based on the DC comic book.
The writers of GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and the director of Max Payne, John Moore, are behind the movie, and Beyonce is said to be meeting up next week to discuss the part.
Beyonce told a press conference that being cast as the character "would be a very bold choice.
A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing", adding that "it would
be a dream come true" to land the part.
The singer/ actress has apparently already met with Warner Brothers and DC bosses, according to sources. The film could possibly even begin production in mid-2010 for a late 2011 release.

Beyoncé Kind of Confirms She's Wonder Woman

A few months back, Beyoncé Knowles interjected herself into the superhero discussion, admitting she'd be up for playing Wonder Woman. Actually, she went so far as to say it would be a "bold" move to cast a black Wonder Woman, and there's some legitimacy to that, although I think the character shouldn't be a lilywhite chick, anyway, just because of the connection to Amazons.
Still, it was a little blip, no different from someone saying they'd like to work with Martin Scorsese down the line or something. But now Beyoncé apparently likes the idea so much she's putting a ring on it. Comic Book Movie reports that the singer and actress told reporters at a press conference that she's meeting with the writers of GI Joe and Max Payne director John Moore in the coming months to see how they can completely ruin this project. I'm sorry...that's not exactly what she said,

English-language remake of ‘Reykjavik-Rotterdam’ picks up Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg (Max Payne, The Departed) is set to star in an English-language remake of Oskar Jonasson’s Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam.
The story will focus “on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems.”
The American version will move the route to somewhere in North America so Canadians don’t get agitated
Prisoners scribe Aaron Guzikowski is working on the script and Reykjavik-Rotterdam’s original star, Baltasar Kormakur, will be directing.
Working Title is quick to re-purpose the film thanks to the early buzz around the original feature, which is Iceland’s entry in the foreign-language category at this year’s Academy Awards.
No word on a release date or what the new title of the film will be. Can I propose Dallas-Rochester? I think I just did.

If you’re a fan of DC Comics, especially if you’re an ardent fan of Wonder Woman, you may want to take a seat… at least, assuming there’s any meat to this slice of comic book movie news pie.
According to ComicBookMovie.com, the website recently Beyonce speak at a press conference about some of her upcoming projects and amongst them was Wonder Woman. She stated she had met with writers Stuart Beatti and David Elliot (GI Joe: Rise Of Cobra) and director John Moore (Max Payne) and that they plan to start production by mid-2010 with a release expected for late 2011.
As I said, there’s not a lot of meat to this, but it’s curious that she appears to have some inside info. Perhaps the powers that be feel that Wonder Woman would make a great platform for diversifying the comic book movie audiences, who knows?

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg were in character Thursday as they filmed The Other Guys in NYC. We usually see Mark starring in action movies like Max Payne or serious ones like the forthcoming The Lovely Bones, but it should be interesting to see what happens when he pairs up with funny Will. The former SNL actor recently showed off his comedic chops in a tongue-in-check PSA tackling healthcare reform, which might not be a topic Will and Mark will be addressing much in their current project.

Note: Click the image below to view full poster
Whenever your small-ish film is getting ready to enter a big, congested film festival, you need to get creative in order to get the word out there -- which is exactly what the folks behind the indie flick Kirot did with this fantastical upside down/sideways poster featuring a gun-toting Olga Kurylenko, who I'm sure you remember as the gal in both Quantum of Solace and Max Payne. Cinematical has received this exclusive poster ahead of the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this coming Sunday.
The Israel-France-usa co-production was directed by Danny Lerner (Frozen Days) and stars Kurylenko as a woman who desperately wants to reunite with the daughter she left back home in Russia, though at the moment she's busy tending to her job as an assassin involved against her will with the local sex-traffic mafia.

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman will not only be seen as rivals in "Black Swan", but as lovers as well. Carson Reeves of ScriptShadow spilled in his review of the film's screenplay that the Mona Sax of "Max Payne" and the Padme Amidala of the "Star Wars" series will have on-screen sex scene.
[More Spoilers Ahead] About the racy scene, Reeves first dropped the bomb writing, "Because in this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex." He then provided more details on the particular scene, noting that it won't be "just nice sweet innocent sex either" because their love-making part will be an "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex."
"Black Swan" centers around the manipulative relationship between a veteran dancer and a rival. A ballerina in one of New York City's top ballet companies, Nina finds herself locked in to a competitive showdown with rival dancer Lilly. With the stakes and twists increasing

Mila Kunis has acted opposite some of Hollywood's hunkiest stars. But she only has eyes for her boyfriend of seven years, Macaulay Culkin.
"I don't know if I met him at 27 if it would have been a different relationship," Kunis, 26 - who went from awkward teenager to young woman on That 70s Show - says in the September issue of Women's Health.
The actress says she was still a teenager when she met Culkin, now 28. "We grew up together. You find a steady rock in your life and that’s all you need. We have our ups and downs, but work through them.
